Global water use for food production needs to be reduced remain within planetary boundaries, yet the financial feasibility of crucial measures reduce is poorly quantified. Here, we introduce a novel method compare costs conservation with added value that reallocation savings might generate if used expansion irrigation. Based on detailed accounting through high-resolution hydrology-crop model, m...

The increasing availability of large data offers an exciting opportunity to use such data to build predictive models using machine learning algorithms. However, most approaches to learning assume direct access to data, and can not efficiently cope with frequent updates to the data. In this paper we show that learning using statistical queries provides a powerful paradigm to address these challe...
